Info about 7,5 cm AA - 14 pcs tells: 7 pcs will be repaired to oryginal condition, about other 7 pcs will be decided later. All these guns were 75 mm/L50 model 1922/24, used as permanent AA artillery on concrete emplacements in Gdynia - 8 pcs, or on bunkers in Hela - 6 pcs.

3 pcs of second model 7,5 cm submarine guns were 75 mm/L35 model 1928. Poland bought 4 pcs before war to use it on boards of minelayers. 3 pieces were replaced to auxhillary permanent coast batteries when ships were damaged, one piece sunk with ship.

Wellcome Jos!
I have following question - could you guys please identify barrel from attached picture? It was exhibited at German Navy School in Flensburg. There is a mystery - this barrel is described as 76,2 cm Russian model 1902. Such gun (non recalibrated to 75 mm) was used on Westerplatte and after siege was a captured relic at navy barracks. After ww2 only barrel left; carriage, wheels and shield were scraped. But this barrel from picture looks different (much longer) for me as 3inch divisional gun.

Hi Jos ,
Thanks for your reply. Where were these guns stored? Any idea of the location of the last 13th gun dispatched in Belgium? No one for my previous question on the armband?
